-Im not tired, yet probably...-He slowly opened his eyes. -Since we are gonna be probably stuck here for a while... who are you? -Even Loyd didn't believed, that he actually started the conversation with such...an interesting person. But the situation requires it.

-A clown you say...-A faint smile appeared at his face for a moment - I am Loyd, Loyd Romends... Any ideas what is this place, and why we might be here? -He was still trying to identify the sound behind the wall and what may cause them. -Why those people are cheering?

Mei is sitting on a nice cushion in the corner the room, holding a large doll made in her likeness. Those two things, an enchanted air freshener and regular housekeeping are the only things she is allowed due to having another gladiator share the room. She slowly looks up to glance at her roommate before quickly looking back at her doll. He's an intimidating humanoid made of crystal and she would rather not upset him. He might even be her next opponent and she might be next up for a fight.

"Hmm? My helmet? I am a ghost. I require this helmet so I can stay in this place. It's old, I can tell but I don't mind It's design." He rather not tell why he was a ghost since all the boy needed was to know why he wore the helmet.

An elf he thought, looking at the boy's ears.

"Mind if I ask who you are?"

"The name's Kairo," he gave a slight bow. "and a ghost huh? How intriguing... can you possibly go through walls and find out where we are? We may be able to escape."

Lenneth awoke with a start, noticing he couldn't feel his normal bed which consisted of shiny metal objects And treasures under his body, he looked about him for alcohol but found none. Now he was broke, and sober, he couldn't have felt worse in his life. As he took in his surroundings he noted the super hard metal doors, they knew a dragon would be able to melt a regular door I guess, smart. Further investigation led him to the meditating weirdo nearby. "Hey you wouldn't happen to have any alcohol on you? I'm already having a bad day." He blinked vertically as reptilians do

"I can go through walls but I rather not since it is possible for me to be spotted... than again I could avoid them but they seem too powerful" He said. He was only a ghost in what Irnisc thinks is about 3 days. He started imagining the minotaurs to break his helmet or killing him but than immediately stopped thinking about it. He was really conscious about his helmet's fate.

"For now I guess we should wait for a moment" He said, now leaning against the wall.

After waiting for a few minutes and making sure their was no one else outside his prison block he shouted:

"Hello? anyone here?" just outside his room. He wanted to make sure he and Kairo are not the only people locked in the place.

"Forgive me for i have none" Grey replies "besides, why would a monk be carrying alcohol beverages" Grey continues, as he meditates, he notices the cracks and marks on the walls, "It seems as if we are going to be here for a while, so instead of being drunk, we should find a way out." Grey answers "but before anything else, we should know each other first, i can already see you're a talking dragon." Grey announces, he stands up and sits on the bed.

Since no one replied, he then decided to phase walk to go outside to find an exit Kairo requested for him to find. Still afraid a minotaur can enter the area, all he found was the others in there cells. He decided to go back to his cell, just in time until a minotaur was starting to appear visible before he phase walked to his cell again.

Knowing there is no exit which I can find, I think I shouldn't phase walk out of my cell again.

Kyo looks at Loyd. "From what I've learned, I believe they are cheering because there is fighting going on." He puts his head to the wall, then takes it off and shakes his head, making the bells on it rattle. "One day, we will have to go out there and fight."
For your second question, this is the tower of blades. I haven't gotten much about that, but I do know why we are here. We are to ascend the ranks of fighters until we get to the top...*He points at a sheet that shows all the fighter's names* or....Go for freedom. By the way, what did the Minotaur say about a fight? Kyo takes out a rubber chicken and imitates a squawk. He said it was AMOOZING! He laughs, then calms down. "Did you know that there are also others in this place? I can do some simple magic and teleport us, but Minotaur lurk everywhere." He shakes his head. "If we are to see the others, it must be a time where they are off guard." He glances behind him. "I also believe that another inmate just visited us."

Cymbian's eyes stared at his roommate. Weird soft creature, built with soft flesh on the inside rather than out like most creatures of his world. Perhaps the Selectors have been creative this time around with their simulations? Either way, this was another test to endure and take and he'd take it with stride. The crystal soldier began to formulate a plan of attack against the test, what was the true purpose of this exam? If it was combat prowess this simulated creature would have struck first but instead it stayed in its place, wary of his presence. An idea popped in his head and he understood everything: it was a relations exam. Something along the lines of allying with other races, to reach out and make peace before war.

That was it. That was the objective.

With his mind, he pried into the creature's head; he opened a gateway into its thoughts and began to send some of his own to communicate.

Greetings, Cymbian said. I am Cymbian, may I know yours?

Yes, courtesy is best when meeting new species not of the Shard Alliance. Brute force should not make the soldier alone but wit and skill. Among the three, wit stands out at this moment.

-Gladiators fights, huh?...Yeah, that would make sense... -His face took on a pensive expression.- Then i have no doubts that we are alone here...And i don't think that any one of us is here willingly.-He stood up, put his ear to the wall and listened, trying to hear other people that might be behind one of the walls. After a minute of hearing only cheering people and nothing else, he gave up and sit on his bed.-I guess we have nothing else to do, but to wait...

Lenneth puffed a bit of smoke from between his teeth in disdain and looked the monk up and down slowly "Well, at least you're calm." he scratched his belly subconsciously and trotted up to his roommate, his claws scratching against the stone suface "I'm Lenneth. and yes, I'm a dragon." he lifted a hand out in front of him "Your name is?"

Mei quivers in her seat with a soft mewl from experiencing a feeling that's completely foreign to her. Clearly, this thing is so powerful it can talk directly to her mind by staring. Judging from the sound of its "voice", she assumes that it has the mind of a male. Despite being terrified, she has to respond to his inquiry for it would be rude not to.

"M-My name is Mei," the girl meekly answers back, "Please don't hurt me."

She wonders if he is capable of hearing, both her spoken word and her inner thoughts.

[OOC: I'm in the first half of my road trip, I'll have to inform you that I'll be away for the duration of the weekend. Bear with my absence if possible assuming that we're still in the prologue. Also, pardon my use of pronouns, considering character perspectives.]
